Drimenol is primarily used in the fragrance and flavor industry due to its pleasant woody and sandalwood-like aroma. It serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of perfumery compounds, especially in creating sandalwood-scented fragrances that are highly valued in cosmetics, soaps, and detergents. Its natural origin and olfactory properties make it a preferred choice for high-end perfumes and natural fragrance formulations. Additionally, drimenol exhibits antimicrobial and antifungal activities, which are explored for use in preservatives and bioactive agents in pharmaceutical and agrochemical applications. Research also investigates its potential in developing insect repellents and antifeedants due to its natural defense properties in plants.
